He's GOT to be thinking about that. He loves them greens.

Aside from that improbability, I don't know what he could do.
Wait to see how this whole mini WW tourney plays out?
Margarito and Hatton don't deserve a shot yet. We'll have to wait and see what Cotto does against Judah. I mean if Judah somehow comes out of this whole WW picture on top, does Floyd need to fight him again?? I say not.
So it's basically down to a Mosley or De La Hoya rematch for now. Please lord, don't let it come to an Oscar rematch.
I smell something rotten happening in a rematch decision.
So purely by default, I wanna see him fight Mosley next. But I somehow get the feeling Floyd isn't interested in that fight.
I agree with you. If he won, he'd equal Oscar's six weights and will have done it convincingly and while undefeated. Plus if he beat a guy who is undisputed middleweight champion that is young, fresh and has defeated Hopkins and drawn with Wright, who then would say he shouldn't retire?
cc back.

I'm really not sure how a PBF - Taylor fight would play out, but the rewards are too juicy to not consider it.
And a loss at 160 would be far less damaging than a loss at 147.
I mean, he'll take slack no matter what weight he loses at. I mean, he's Floyd.
But jumping all the way to 160 would be an honourable way to take that L.
Maybe, just maybe, his critics will cut him some slack for losing way out of his comfort zone.
But then again, Taylor hasn't been all that as of late. Plenty of holes including fading out in the stretch and wasted punches can be exposed by Floyd possibly...
6 for 6, Floyd.. I know you're thinkin' about it, baby.
